Hi!

I have a project with still photographs like a slideshow, and want to superimpose some moving video on top. The video needs to be round, offset and to the side so you still can see the picture behind it, and I've figured out how to use Motions and Masks for that. But the frame is perfectly sharp - like a picture in picture TV - and I want the edges to be blurred, to blend in with the background. I've looked for days. How?

PS. Ideally I'd like for the video to be oval, not round, but can only find a round mask. Is there a trick to make it oval?

Hi!

Thank you. I meant to search, but didn't quite know what to search for. Blurred? Diffused? Fuzzy? It took a long time just writing the post as I was having problems describing what I wanted. I am glad you understood what I wanted. Thank you again.

I suspected it had to be done from scratch. But I didn't know what colour to use for transparancy, or what file format, what size or how PD would recognise it, if at all. Now I know, and will create my own custom mask for what I want to do. (Although I think it should be built in - there is a blur setting on borders, why not masks?)
